Advance Warning - Unsafe waters Chichester Harbour

[BarryD]

In a further vallient attempt and despite the best endevours of Peters Marine and "God - foul weathers delivery service" I'm off to try my RYA Powerboat 2 / ICC training again on Thursday and Friday. SWMBO will be out with us on Friday so that should really increase the incidence of damage / sinkings ;-).

Thanks again for all the advice from last time - I'm looking forward to it.

BTW Any truth in the rumour Kev (B) that you've delayed the arrival of your new boat into the marina until I show some signs of competance?

Barry, thought you would have cottoned on by now why I'm not picking it up till Monday. <G>

Barry

Who are you doing the training with?

 

[BarryD]

Hi Neale,

The course is being organised by Tom Gregory (tomgregory@ic24.net), he is RYA approved etc.. and known to a few forum members as one of the cruise organisers (I think). Due to time constraints I've actually got one of his oppos a chap called Anthony Heaton.

Should be fun, assuming I survive then I will update with more drivel.

Cheers.

It's nortmally called "driving the boat" Barry, not "drivelling the boat "

Drivel is wot I write, drive is wot I do. Many thanks for the cardinal pointers!

fabulous lateral thinking.

Also the pic display is ace, and much better than colin's with pic of his pet dog. Well done and thanx.

Barry, good luck. I have marked all my charts in black marker pen to show Chi as a no go area, danger to shipping etc. Let us know how it goes. Are you taking the 'Dillac for its first long blast too?

 

[BarryD]

Not yet, thanks for the good wishes..

Hi JFM - Not taking the 'Dillac as the garage are still trying to clean all of it (taken them a week so far). I get it on Saturday afternoon <BG>. Could do with something to strap the dinghy on though... hint hint.

Oh dear!

Had a quick word with that nice Michael Fish, he seems to have ordered the required testing conditions for you again!

Hope the steering works! Good luck.
